clay or a certain dirt.
No not clay or certain dirt at all- Soil is red because of the same compound that causes rust to be red, oxidised iron (most common formula- Fe2O3). If the soil has nutrients like Iron and other elements that oxidise it will be dark. A soil with just Iron and not many other nutrients will usually be a lighter red.
